When you are new to the team your appearances are sporadic. When I first started playing for England I got an 8 and scored the winning goal but they didn't play me in the next game.

How many England Appearances have you had?

I was picked for 13 Matches over 2 years and played 2 World Cup Qualifiers(scoring 4 goals) and 2 Friendlies(scored 4) Plus 2 World Cup group stage matches(scored 2) so 6 matches played, scored 10 goals.

Thought I'd update this CM here as I have reached the 3rd season now.

Transfer windown ended and I stayed with liverpool despite tempting offer to move to Barca,

Captured the Capitol one cup against Chelsea of which the enjoyment from the win extiguished as I suffered a sprained ankle(1st ever injury) and sat out for 3 weeks, missing a few key premier league clashes and and FA Cup Quarter Final against Manchester City(Luckily we won 2-1)

As I was recovering I was picked for 2 international friendlies but did not play, my return to the Premier League was a Beauty!!!
Manchester Utd v Liverpool at Old Trafford, What A Match to return in and a classic it was, 7 goals in all, everytime I scored they scored(My Pro walked away with a hat trick) and downing scored the winner, 4-3!!!

then onto the fa cup semi final with the winner facing Chelsea(the beat QPR 3-0)

The Semi Final against Arsenal was very hard, LFC down 1-0 from a 35th min strike by Cazorla, Daniel Agger at the death with a 90th Min headed equalizer. Extra time came and went and it was down to penalties. LFC scored 5 Arsenal scored 3 with Reina saving a tricky shot by podolski. Onto the final where we won 3-0 v Chelsea.

Liverpool secured the PL title after a 4-1 away win against Aston Villa(just before the FA Cup final)
Liverpool finished on 103 pts(oddly same as Charlton did in my first season)

Sadly even though I helped bring Charlton Athletic up to the PL during my loan spell they will be going back to the Championship as they finished bottom of the PL with a -64 GD!!! Joining them will be Southampton and Fulham

Competed in the World Championship with England
Australia 0-5 England(my pro scored 1)
Ivory Coast 2-1 England(pro didnt play)
England 3-0 Sweden(pro scored 1)
Brazil 2-1 England(pro didnt play)
Knocked out so back to LFC

And another offer by barca but they backtracked and retracted their bid
loan offer from Newcastle(rejected)
Upcoming first friendly v Atletico Madrid(Chelsea r after Falcao)
Other News in the CM Liverpool are after Busquets(hmmm)

Probably after cm's because Sahin(who set to miss 8 wks injured with only 3 wks of league left) has gone back to madrid, Im guessing Carroll should be back also, just hope they get rid of daimaio lol
 
<Tottenham Manager> "So Brad can't find his walking stick and Lloris is injured (possibly from jaw ache from moaning to the press too often), so I need to throw in an emergency keeper. Now let me think.....hmmm....Gareth! You look like a monkey, monkeys are quite nimble, you're playing in goal today".

*Spurs lose 5-0, possibly due to bloody Bale in goal me thinks*
 
Hi there Everyone! I play Fifa 13 on Xbox360 in Career Mode. I have a very annoying problem.
My player is very young but already 79 and scoring goals almost in every game. But for an odd reason the player never puts me in the Champions Cup team because he says I am too tired. I am the top scoarer of the league and my team but I just cannot play in champions cup. This is really ridiculous. Is there anything I can/could do about it? I would like very much to be picked in the team for an international league game.
Thank you in advance!
 
I have the same issue, all I can suggest is conserving energy during each game as this then increases your stamina thus increasing your chances of being able to play two games per week.
 
I was hoping that there is an option to "ask" the coach to call my player off without any retribution. Like if we lead 5 and my player scored 3 goals I could 'ask' the coach to call me off and let the young ones get some experience. I am surprised that EA missed this option.

lol Ive had that twice as liverpool v spurs!!! Bale in goal and he conceded 5, 2nd time defoe in goal and he conceded 7 lmao
 
Quick Player Career Mode Update, I have taken the leap and left Liverpool :(

Funnily enough i was forced out!!! Has anyone had this??

An offer came on from Bayern Munich and I was TOLD to accept it.

I stalled and they kept me out of the following two matches(they lost them pmsl)

I joined them for £18,000,000 with an increase in wage(£15,000 - £40,000)
My pro now after 5 games with bayern is now rated 80 and worth £24,000,000

I have started the 5 games(first 5 in the budesliga)
First match subbed after scoring 1 goal(replaced by Mario Gomez) 75' Min
2nd Match Subbed after scoring 1 goal(replaced by Robben) 82' Min
3rd Match Rested
4th AND 5th Matches Played a FULL 90 Minutes!!!!!
Scored a Hat Trick In BOTH Games!!!!

Speed in the Budesliga is alot different then I am used to in the Prem but I am actually liking it!!

Disappointed by the fact I was eventually forced out(even though i asked to be loaned but wanted to stay as a player) but maybe it'll do my pro good!!


Also called up for England's first Euro Championship Qualifier and Scored 3 goals v Russia! then left out of the scotland game(they drew 0-0)

Good point. I've played around 450 as both the entire team and as a single player (combined) and I've had one red card. Disappointingly, the CPU didn't change the formation so the right back berth was just totally free every time.
 
I've only had a couple of reds for the com team. But I am happy with the yellows and free kicks now, the com is getting booked quite a bit and couple at least free kicks a game.
 
Midway through September in my York City CM. The transfer window has passed without me making any moves, however my scout has turned up a potentially good young German player that could be useful, so he may or may not be signed depending on what is apparent after further scouting.

I am also currently unbeaten and sit 1st at the top of the npower League 2 with 17 points, with a record of 5-2-0. I have even upped the difficulty to World Class, but I still managed to beat Exeter 3-2 at home (it would have been 3-0 if not for my poor defending late on). In the COC I have progressed through two rounds now, initially beating Stevenage 1-0 and in the following round I defeated Bradford City 3-2 thanks to an 85th minute winner.

My top scorer is between Ashley Chambers and Daniel Kearns who have both been fantastic so far this season, offering pace out wide and their movement causes great trouble for opposite defences. However, my stand out player would have to be Chris Smith, my centre back. He's already scored this season and is an absolute rock at the back with Clark Carlisle and I honest to god don't think he's been beaten in the air from a cross this season, he clears EVERYTHING. Overall, very happy with how my team is doing, albeit extremely surprised. But I have a good system and the players suit the way I want to play, so I think there is an outside chance we could have a surprisingly successful season.
 
I'm starting a new one with Barnet in League 2 with my VP. My aim is to eventually get to play for Arsenal in the future. Hopefully via Spain or Italy.

Still early in the season but in the top 2 at the moment, my VP doing well and scored a few.

It was great in the League cup, had two great games against Portsmouth and Preston (Both League 1) and just got through both, then I was drawn against Arsenal away!

The build up was how my VP was a huge Arsenal fan and his dream was to play for Arsenal and how he wanted to show Arsenal what he was all about (This was all in my head obviously).

Arsenal put out quite a strong team although with youth involved and I was playing well with Barnet and my VP scored a goal in the first half. We then struggled all game trying to keep the score at 0-1, the players were tiring and I got sucker punched in the 90th minute with Wilshere equalising :(( then in extra time they scored 2 more making it 3-1.

It was a great game though :))

I only started this new campaign because my Arsenal one in the 3rd seasons January transfers just crashes everytime after it, so I can't continue it.....they really need to sort this shit out. But I am hoping now that my new one has been started after the updates, so won't crash.
 
I hate it when the game "decides" to turn my opponent in Superman team for some matches.
I'm playing as Sheffield and I win some and loose some but I have stumbled upon an opponent that cant be beaten in that match. I have reloaded the match 5 times and I loose it every time. It seems that the game decided to give tham a boost for that match. All of their players were super aggressive too (8 fouls, many sliding tackles etc).

Do you find there are ENOUGH injuries for all teams in the league with the default 50 setting?

In real life, at any given time of the season, most clubs have at least 3-5 players out. Sometimes as many as 7 or 8. In CM mode, that's never the case I find with DEFAULT settings since the 'average' casual fan that EA caters to most of all doesn't want to see that many of their players out; so there is usually 2-3 out if that.

What's most common is 1 player out injured for 3 months and maybe one or two more with a 1-2 week injury but nowhere near the injury crisis that most clubs face in real life.
 
Mine ARE Placebo's just toned down a little as my players were twisting more knees than Chubby Checker and the Fat Boys (one for the kids there) so mine are 65 on Frequency and 40 for Severity.

That's given me a couple of broken bones over a season (4 or 5 months) and a handful of muscle tears (4 weeks to 3 months) and lots of bruised shoulders and the like (2 days to 4 weeks).

I think that's pretty realistic myself.
 
Damn, Changed it to between MJP's and Placebos and have now lost Kyle Walker for 3 Months with a Torn Hamstring in the first match since changing lol

Thanks guys.

Paul, is there a particular reason you set the AI to suffer more injuries? Do you find on average your players get more injured than AI and that's why you're giving them higher frequency and severity?
 
I only my own sliders i changed not the AI's personally. Gonna play around a little with it. Only major injury I had was in the player mode where Sahin was out 8 weeks, oddly enough that started 3 weeks before he went back 2 madrid.
